ALLI: The Purple City!

VOICE OF PRINCE: Are ya’ll ready? (applause)

Hey Purple City!

I hope u don’t forget me

I’m a million miles below my father’s shadow

Just 7 years old

My heart dropped when I was told

I was cryin’ purple teardrops

On my paisley pillow

If he were here today

I know that he would say

“Just wipe those tears away!” and

“Just keep tryin’ 2 make it right

Don’t let ‘еm treat u like a fool

Take my hand and hold it tight

May Hеaven’s eyes watch over u”

“Just keep tryin’ 2 make it right

Don’t let ‘em treat u like a fool

Take my hand and hold it tight

May Heaven’s eyes watch over u”

Hey Purple City!

I hope u don’t forget me

I’m a million miles below my father’s shadow

Just 7 years old

My heart dropped when I was told

I was cryin’ purple teardrops

On my paisley pillow

The other day at a stadium

As the band began to play

We heard a voice in a heavenly glow

It said…

“Just keep tryin’ 2 make it right

Don’t let ‘em treat u like a fool

Take my hand and hold it tight

May Heaven’s eyes watch over u”

Hey Purple City!

I hope u don’t forget me

I’m a million miles below my father’s shadow

Just 7 years old

My heart dropped when I was told

I know that he would say

“Just wipe those tears away!” and

“Just keep tryin’ 2 make it right

Don’t let ‘em treat u like a fool

Take my hand and hold it tight

May Heaven’s eyes watch over u”

“Just keep tryin’ 2 make it right

Don’t let ‘em treat u like a fool

Take my hand and hold it tight

May Heaven’s eyes watch over u”

Hey Purple City!

I hope u don’t forget me
